As death nears, many families are faced with some tough decisions regarding end of life planning. Having a supportive professional available to listen and answer questions helps many to ease the burdens they are faced with, develop new coping skills, reduce stress and regain a sense of peace in the household.
After one of our clients passes, the need for emotional support often continues for the family. Salus Homecare of Orange County’s hospice social workers and bereavement counselors remain available to provide comfort, opportunities to reminisce and a chance for healing. This extended support is appreciated by many of our clients and part of the reason they choose to use our services.
John A. November 19, 2024After struggling with a few other caregiving companies, I was introduced to SALUS. We used SALUS for many months until my partner was transferred to a memory care facility.
I found SALUS to be very professional and prompt. The care of the caregivers was excellent, well trained and empathetic. The effectiveness was the excellent administration and organization of SALUS I never went without a caregiver, if one was off ill, another was immediately allocated to my partner.
There was always a care manager available to assist and they were very understanding of any concerns that I had.
The accounting was done excellently, and whenever I had a query, it was clearly explained to me.
I would always (and in fact I have already done) recommend SALUS as a first and only choice. Their mantra should be kindness and understanding right through to efficiency and professionalism.

Feeling scared is normal for many people facing a terminal illness. At Salus Homecare, our Orange County social workers are trained to help you to cope with these negative feelings so that they do not consume you in the final months, weeks and days of life. This can improve your quality of life and help you to feel more comfortable with the dying process.
Salus Homecare’s Orange County hospice is designed to provide support to every member of the family, and this includes young children. Our social workers, chaplains and other professionals can speak to children about their concerns, and referrals can be made to community resources if necessary.
Salus Homecare’s Orange County hospice does not require any client to participate in therapy, but many clients find that they benefit from it. If you choose not to speak with a social worker or another mental health professional, simply say so. If you change your mind at any point, the services will remain available to you
